I need to measure some lengths in feet, in previous versions I could change the units in the drop down window and it would stay on feet now it reverts back to meters, if you take focus off the measure tool by for example selecting the next point to measure to.

I have gone to Settings >Options >Map Tools and change the distance units to feet but the tool still opens in meters

  • Which version of QGIS are you using and what is your CRS?

  • According to this question gis.stackexchange.com/questions/52583/… , some CRS's can only handle certain units, but I would think if yours is measuring in meters there's no reason why it shouldn't be able to handle feet.

Check your project's settings. The project also has a default distance unit which may be set to metres.
